Yes I could have made this up but here is a correspondence to support what I am talking about.

I will need the affiliate username and the website URL that you purchased in order to see about applying the credit.

I actually have to email him directly using a specific email format and title with the below information he wants for them to even consider it. Now if you went through my link and signed up for full price I do get credit. But I have not provided the location of my banner ads so I am not trying to make money there either.

BTW this is the email I got after the above quoted.

The site you registered signed up through our promotional offer program at $3.95 and is not eligible for affiliate commissions.
